No Credit Check on Rent-to-Own Cars

Rent-to-own dealers don’t generally run credit checks, which allows people with bad credit to finance a car as long as they make a qualifying income.

Down Payment Requirement

You’ll be required to put money down on a rent-to-own vehicle. Make sure you budget for one and ask the dealer how much you’ll need.

Ownership

Because you don’t own the car during the rent-to-own term, you’ll generally have to pay fees at the end of the term to claim ownership.
